Thanked 4,999 Times in 3,015 PostsNo official definition, but pre 1990 seems the accepted definition, or 20 years old, so an 850 will be there in the next couple of years

Thanked 2,643 Times in 1,928 PostsNice, what's your plans for the car? Will it be a case of rebuilding it back to how it would have been standard or are you looking for more?
